2022 Easton Ghost Double Barrel Fastpitch Bat Review
The classic two-piece Double Barrel Ghost - the flexier, dampened feel that built the Ghost legend. Now a closeout, it delivers signature Ghost pop and that iconic sound for well under its original price.

How we score ↗How big and forgiving the barrel is — based on barrel length, construction (one- vs two-piece, alloy vs composite), and how it plays on balls hit off the center. A primary driver of the overall score.
Raw exit velocity and distance. We use measured numbers from freely available independent testing when they exist; otherwise construction and consensus, judged against the certification’s performance ceiling. A primary driver of the overall score.
Comfort and feedback on contact — vibration dampening from the knob/connection, the sting of a stiff one-piece vs a smooth two-piece, and the sound off the barrel. A primary driver of the overall score.
How well it holds up and how the company stands behind it — documented cracking/denting reports, cold-weather behavior, and the brand’s real warranty record. Good to know, but weighted lightly in the score.
Our take on price-for-performance — the overall package weighed against its cost and what comparable bats run. Shown for context; it is NOT factored into the overall score (price changes too often and is personal).
Why this score: The classic two-piece Ghost still ranks near the top of fastpitch for feel and pop - the flexier, dampened sensation that built the line's reputation. Durability is rated honestly-cautious as a Ghost composite. Value is strong now that the bat sells as a closeout below its original MSRP.
Our Review
The 2022 Ghost Double Barrel is the two-piece composite that defined the Ghost franchise for years. Its patented Double Barrel construction - an inner barrel tuned for low compression inside an outer barrel - produces the big sweet spot, the lively pop and the iconic Ghost sound, while ConneXion technology stiffens the barrel flex and kills vibration for a clean, dampened feel at contact. Compared with the newer one-piece Ghost Unlimited, this classic two-piece has the flexier, smoother sensation many hitters still prefer. It plays hot with minimal break-in and stays balanced across the -8 through -11 drops. The durability question that follows all Ghost composites applies here too, but as a closeout the original $349.95 list price is no longer the obstacle it once was, making this a strong way into genuine Ghost performance.
